I've a few more little details to deal with in my current setup, but
I'll hopefully manage to move to GCC4 in the next week or so and
I'll try again then.

I don't think the index needs to be regenerate so often. Thinking about
what you've said here, would it be possible for us to SCP the package and
its source to a staging area where a process could check for additions
and then schedule an early morning rebuild of the website and package
index. All the rebuild would need to do is copy the changes to the
autobuilder_packages directory on this machine and run the build-website
script.
